# AddController

Adds a Controller to Coordinator. You can specify a Controller by using one of the following parameter combinations:

- UUID (Universal Unique ID).
- IP address and Port.
- HostName and Port. In this case you must also set ConnectByHostName to `True`.

NOTE:

You can register Controllers by UUID only if you enable SSDP in your Controllers. In this case, you can use the GetControllers action to obtain the UUID of a Controller.

You cannot register Controllers by UUID if you use GSSAPI authentication.

## Example
